Atlantic FFA Advisor Eric Miller commented “I am so proud of all of the FFA members that participated this week. I would like to thank all of the parents, friends and family that helped with transportation, working with animals, and chores back home at the farm. Without everyone’s support, our FFA members would not have these opportunities.”

Next week Atlantic FFA members will participate in the Dairy Goat show to wrap up the Iowa State Fair. Several FFA members participated in the Parade of Champions on Saturday as well.
